Question Number 22437 by Tinkutara last updated on 18/Oct/17
A cubical block is held stationary  against a rough wall by applying force  ′F′ then incorrect statement among  the following is  (1) frictional force, f = Mg  (2) f = N, N is normal reaction  (3) F does not apply any torque  (4) N does not apply any torque

i think statement 2 is wrong i.e f = N.
ithinkstatement2iswrongi.ef=N.

only statement (4) is incorrect.  (2) might be correct depending  on value of μ .

(3) should be wrong since line of action  of F passes through COM of block. Why  not?

f=Mg  N=F  f×a=N×e  ⇒e=((f×a)/N)=((Mga)/F)≠0  F, Mg apply no torque.  f, N apply torque.  ⇒(4) is wrong

Why N is not along COM?

we have 4 forces. F and Mg go through  COM, f doesn′t go through COM.  If N also goes through COM, then  the block would rotate due to the  torque created by f. That means N  must create a torque opposite to that  created by f.

thats why (3) is correct  and we have to choose incorrect.  No torque of F about COM as  its line of action passes through  COM of block.  Line of action of net Normal  force does shift ans applies a  torque that counterbalances  torque of friction.
